Hide AdPlans were that the swan would be returned to his native ‘Gold Coast’ or Carrick.
But the PSNI said: “Having rounded up our stray Bangorian, we couldn’t find anyone willing to actually drive that far to return him.
“We also decided that, since our visitor had clearly made a deliberate effort to come to Craigavon, that forcing him back to be to inflict the worst view in the world on him...Carrick.
“So, to avoid subjecting him to the cruel and degrading treatment of forcing him to look out at Carrick, it is a pleasure to welcome our latest arrival to the team, Police Swan Bucky, who is now safely at home patrolling Craigavon Lakes.
“Welcome to the team PS Bucky!”
